Not a good show at all. Forastero & Cavernario was missing something but they were definitely trying. You could say that for some of the other matches too, but the top ones were just guys trying to get thru the night and get on to the next show as easy as possible. The match times were shorter than usual but it wasn’t like more time would’ve fixed the issues. Maybe it’ll be better if they’re trying to impress people with Naito around.

AAA’s Verano de Escandalo will take place in Merida on 06/16 (Sunday) according to this commercial. Lucha Noticias picked up on this first I saw. AAA ran Merida last year after a six-year break. Verano de Escandalo was held in Monterrey last year, who got Rey de Reyes this year.

No AAA TV taping this weekend. The Crash is running tonight in Tijuana, with Dragon Lee versus Rey Horus as the main event. Negro Casas teams with Felino & Cavernario against Rebelion Amarilla in what will be Garza Jr.’s last night with the promotion and Bandido defends The Crash cruiserweight championship in a four-way with Flamita, Jonathan Gresham and Shane Strickland (who also is done with here after this match.)

On Sunday, Kaoz has a five-way match with Hechicero, Mephisto, Mr. Aguila, Zorro and Garza in Arena Coliseo Monterrey, which is Zorro’s return to the promotion and Garza’s farewell in his hometown. He’s scheduled for a couple of matches in the next couple of weeks but it is possible that’ll be it until he starts with WWE. A little closer to me, GALLI has a loaded show with Aeroboy versus Fenix plus Drago & Rey Horus vs Gringo Loco & Golden Dragon. I don’t think I’m making that one after all so hopefully one of the eight (?) other people recording it will put it up somewhere.

This is show is a miscommunication comedy where the CMLL side is trying to look good for the serious NJPW visitors (a title match! Bestia del Ring & Diamante Azul stuffed into a closet somewhere!) while the NJPW just wants to get in some vacation time while they’re on this side of the world and do not care at all. The show looks better than usual at any rate. The top three all having strong promise and the worst people all have the night off.
